Issue with stacker news - login not working?

298 sats \ 11 comments \ @Signal312 17 Jul meta

Anyone else having issues? When I go to stacker.news on my laptop (windows) I'm anon, and I can't login using my wallet, Alby (via login with lightning). Alby thinks I'm logged in (the web extension icon turns green when on stacker.news) but I'm only showing up as anon on the site. And when do the login with lightning I get the message on alby "Connection problem or invalid LNURL / lightning address". I've had multiple interactions with Alby support, they're helpful, and I'm beginning to think it's a stacker news issue.

I'm writing this from my GrapheneOS phone.

And in case this is related - I actually had a phone PWA login issue as well. A couple weeks ago I was logged in on the pwa, my balance was showing, HOWEVER multiple things l didn't work - I couldn't write a post (the "pick territory" wouldn't actually show the list of territories), I couldn't zap (just didn't work, no error), I couldn't go into my profile, I couldn't use the back arrow to go back (but swipe back on the phone worked), I couldn't hit the MORE button on the bottom to see more posts. I tried all kinds of things, but never got it to work. Then one day after about 10 days, all of a sudden the PWA was working as normal. No idea what was the issue.

I've had something very similar happen before - #516337.

I just tested lnurl-auth and it's working for me with breez.

I'll try with Alby next.

Alby thinks I'm logged in (the web extension icon turns green when on stacker.news)

I think Alby turns green if it's connected to the website - independent of whether you're logged in.

Then one day after about 10 days, all of a sudden the PWA was working as normal. No idea what was the issue.

This was an independent issue related to graphene update that disabled wasm. We fixed that after a few people reported it (thank satoshi for bug reports).

I can't login with @Alby either. The extension just goes blank and the console shows:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'name')

The above error went away after I set up a master key in Alby (which I had resisted for a long time). I logged out and logged back in successfully.

So I don't think the issue is on our end as far as I can detect.

How are you logging with alby? I'm using the extension on Brave. I copy the lnurl, then put it in the send field.

Thanks for your help. I have the same experience - after setting up the master key in Alby, I was finally able to login to Stacker News, via the login via lightning.

HOWEVER it's logging me into a new account, not the account that I've been using (that it looks like only works now on my phone).

I must not be understanding something with how identity management works with Alby...

I think you need to migrate to continue using the same lnurl-auth:

Thanks, I'm going down that path now.

Fixed! The Alby terminology is confusing around identity, but after doing the master key thing, and after some help from support, it's working.

Is there a way to add a nostr login to an existing stacker.news account? The lightning login seems a little iffy.
